Its not because a player gets benched that he immediatly needs to get traded. Frolov to me is an enigmatic winger, he has skills, size and telent and just like our own AK46 he does not know what to do with it.

I would not mind a trade, I would not mind seeing a guy like SK leaving the other side but depleeting our top 9 to get him would be plain stupid.

vinny/getzlaf haven't scored either, there are some other big name guys in slumps, it's not like everyone of them will be traded. Although, I do expect Frolov to be if he's not signed at the deadline, LA is building a nice base, if they can get top young talent for a UFA I think they'd do it.

I'd do it without a second thought and if it takes the Kostitsyns, go for it. Personally I think Andrei is a bust and trading him while he has some value left would be ideal. Of course these are rumors and will never happen.
